Nov. 2 (UPI) -- A federal judge on Friday said Georgia must allow 3,000 new U.S. citizens to vote in the midterm elections if they show proof of citizenship.
The ruling is another blow to the state's so-called "exact match" law in which voter registration information must match exactly the information on a person's vehicle registration and government-issued identification. The law has come under scrutiny for putting some 50,000 early voters on hold, in some cases because of typos or differences in signatures.
